The reliability of haplotyping inference in nuclear families: misassignment rates for SNPs and microsatellites.

Abstract excerpt

Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are widely used when investigators try to map complex disease genes. Although biallelic SNP markers are less informative than microsatellite markers, one can increase their information content by using haplotypes. However, assigning haplotypes (i.e., assigning phase) correctly can be problematic in the presence of SNP heterozygosity. For example, a doubly heterozygous...
